Brian & Krista

For their anniversary, Krista gave Brian a year of monthly date nights, and this month was a couples photo shoot with me! You probably aren't used to seeing Brian and Krista without their four cute kiddos running circles around them - I wasn't, either. :) This shoot was so fun! Brian and Krista are silly and constantly make each other laugh. They are super cute (can you believe they have 4 kids??)! You can tell they still enjoy each other throughout the craziness of having 4 kids in 4 years. :) This shoot made me want to do a shoot with just my hubby! :) We started downtown, then went by a high school soccer field (Brian's "second home") for some pictures on the bleachers before heading to a park. Brian makes the craziest faces, and they were captured throughout our shoot. I put one here for your viewing pleasure. :)

Here are some of my favorites from our shoot!

Lance, Hollie, & Emree

Oh. My. Gosh. Little Emree is beyond adorable! She has the cutest chubby cheeks and is so smiley! Lance and Hollie  have been long-time friends and I was ecstatic to be able to take their pictures. Emree acted like a little model. She gave me her beautiful toothless smile at the drop of a hat, and she looked right at my camera! Emree is about 5.5 months old and I seriously couldn't get enough of her. Hollie and Lance, you have a beautiful daughter!

Sarah : Senior

Sarah is full of joy. You can tell the moment you meet her. Her joy overflows - and she doesn't stop smiling. :) I'm glad one of her teachers recommended me, because I had so much fun taking these pictures! We had perfect weather for Sarah's shoot - though downtown was crazy busy because of a concert at the arena! Sarah was willing to walk in HIGH heels (or barefoot) everywhere I took her (which was all over)! We ended our day at the park with beautiful light. She brought along her close friend Morgan and we took some shots with the two of them, as well! We almost got pooped on by birds (twice), walked through broken glass, got screeched at by birds while walking through stickers, and rolled a few ankles... but we got some great shots!

Sarah - it was a joy taking your pictures. Congrats on graduating and good luck in this next season of life!

Valerie & Her Boys

The weather didn't want this shoot to happen! We had to reschedule once - and almost had to again. Wednesday was supposed to be stormy and we couldn't tell when it was going to hit! I'm glad we braved the wind and gave it a shot. The weather ended up being great, aside from the bit of wind! :) Valerie and Isaac have have the cutest boys - Ian and Nolan. Ian was hesitant to smile... until ice cream was mentioned! Then he willingly gave me his "ice cream smile." :) Nolan is a mover! He wasn't really into being still or having his picture taken, but if I sang "the wheels on the bus" he would freeze for a few seconds and I would shoot like crazy! :) I hope the boys enjoyed their ice cream treat - they deserved it!
